Patterns, Barnacles, Driftwood, Colors, Topography, and Reflections

The beach offered so many textures and visuals this last visit that I took over 150 photos. Wow! Thank goodness for digital as I can only imagine what that would have cost in film.
Please let me share with you some of the really great things I saw on my walk. This will be a photo heavy post (my favorite kind).

PATTERNS

I see flowers, landscapes and knitting





BARNACLES

Encrusted Barnacle city on the bottom of a bucket





DRIFTWOOD

It seems since I first found the tower made of driftwood that others have decided to have their hand at it too. I think there is a little Andy Goldsworthy in all of us.













Below is the original structure that started it all but with more wood added and a root ball ornament almost near the top




COLORS

I loved the layered colors in the sand dune. One picture looks like it is flowing like lava. 




TOPOGRAPHY

 The tide had rolled in so far it left the beach completely flat and smooth. A perfect canvas. And as if I was flying high above the Earth, the topography left by the waves being locked in the sand was beautiful.




REFLECTIONS

On my walk back through the dunes and towards the Back Bay waters, I saw Snow Geese headed south. White feathered geese with black feet, their beauty not captured by the camera. And the reflecting waters that  never fails to make me stop and look. 




The End
:o)

I love your pictures. I see schools of fish in the first photos. And the driftwood towers are great! We saw hundreds of migrating black ducks one day at the lake recently, during our walk, but I didn't have my camera. :(

If I didn't plan my trips to the beach, I probably wouldn't have my camera either. I really should branch out and photograph some other places too but the beach always calls to me the loudest. :o)
